Garage services are important to maintain your vehicle and keep it in good condition. Whilst it’s not a legal requirement like an MOT test, these appointments are important for every car. There are many advantages to receiving these checks and repairs. Regular inspections will ensure any problems are found and fixed before they develop into larger, more expensive issues.
Moreover, ensuring your car is in good shape means that it’s safer for driving and less likely to break down. Plus, that ‘full service history’ will also be a great feature when it comes to selling it in the future.
So, how often should you take your car to the professionals?
Full Garage Services
To keep your vehicle in good health, an MOT isn’t enough. A full service is required if you want to increase the lifespan of your car. It comprises of various inspections, replacements, and refills. We advise booking every 12 months. However, if you cover a lot of miles, every 12,000 miles is recommended. If you’ve got a modern vehicle, you may be reminded by a warning light on your dashboard. This handy feature shouldn’t be ignored, and you should book a visit as soon as possible.
Garage services are quite in-depth to ensure your car stays in good condition for another year. It involves checking things like the engine, brakes, tyres, lights, suspension, and steering system. The battery is checked, along with the cooling system and fluid levels. The gearbox is also looked at to ensure it’s working correctly. After this maintenance visit, you can have peace of mind your vehicle is in better condition.
Interim Garage Services
If your commute is quite long or you drive long distances, it’s recommended that you book additional visits alongside your full service. Interim maintenance is less detailed than a full one, but still very useful for keeping a car in great shape. It’s recommended that need happen at the 6-month interval to keep things running smoothly.
